It's nice starting off a new year with a list of things you want to achieve, I'm still in the thinking phase deciding what my goals for 2011 will be. I think learning another language is a great idea and your business venture has me intrigued... x

It is exciting to think of the possibilities :) Martha, yes we are a matching pair. What are the odds?! Luckily we have a different middle initial. I did study Italian at school for 4 years so that would be the obvious choice but French sounds so romantic :) I also played the piano when I was younger. Hopefully it all comes flooding back to me! Thought about buying some U.S dollars as the Aussie dollar is so strong, could be a little push towards New York :)

Oh yes, you should take a trip, i just did it this year, a second honeymoon to Europe after 13 years of holidaying with children & it was magical, just the two of us, i loved it!! The children were fine, they loved the little goodies we brought home & had a chance to miss me!! I'm up for new things, not languages or music, i have to re-learn high school as my eldest starts. Have a fantastic new year, love Posie

Oh, Simone, a fab post. An array of exciting possibilities. As a language lover, I would recommend French as the sentence structure is similar to English, we have a lot of shared words (or roots of words) and they only have two choices of gender (le and la). German has three which makes it harder. Bonne chance! J x
